A little about the property and some local area history

Victoria-Mews was formerly the Old Woolston Dairy and is around 150 years old and was run by local businessman Charles Phipps and his family, the property is one of the original
buildings in the Victoria road area of Woolston which is actually the Woolston High street and was built long before Woolston became anexed to the nearby town of Southampton, it was then just a small
village along with nearby neighbour Itchen Ferry Village located on the eastern shores of the well known River Itchen and it's confluence with the River Test both of which then flow into
Southampton Water and then on into the Solent / English Channel at the nothern tip of the Isle Of Wight opposite Cowes.

Both villages made their living predominantly from boat building and fishing and also the ferry business as the name sugests.

With the exeption of the ferry business which was originaly by rowing boats and also for over 100 years a chain ferry known locally as the "Floating Bridge or the Floatie" which was
replaced in 1976 by a toll bridge linking Woolston to the city centre of Southampton the boatbuilding, fishing, and shell fishing trades continue to this day.

Our property was one of a few that survived the Blitz [although heavily damaged] during WW2 with the buildings either side being totally destroyed by direct hits from ariel
bombardment and heavy casualties sustained, this was mainly due to being located only 100mtrs from the original Supermarine factory in Hazel Rd that manufactured the famous Spitfire fighter plane
designed by RJ Mitchell and well known to many for it's involvement in the Battle of Britain and slightly further along Hazel road is the old Whites Shipyard which produced Landing Craft and Motor
Torpedo Boats [MTB'S] during the war years, and also being a similar distance further along Victoria road in the opposite direction was the former Thornycroft shipyard [later Vosper
Thorneycroft] which produced warships [mainly Frigates and Minesweepers] for many countries navy's worldwide for over 100 years,

we are also located directly on the opposite river bank to Southampton Docks where the D-Day invasion troops embarked for the Normandy beach
landings in june 1944.

All things considered it's a wonder the place still exist's !

We still have the old chimney pots from the building complete with shrappnel holes although they now are full of flowers and in our garden.

unfortunately the village of Itchen ferry did'nt do so well and was pretty much erased from the map with very few traces of the original buildings still visible [unless you know where to look of course]

Turn right onto B3025 Portsmouth Road
(signposted Woolston) and proceed past a large Vauxhall car dealership on your left and then through 6 sets of traffic lights [only 3 are road junctions the other 4 are pedestrian
crossings]

Please keep left when you approach the
Itchen Toll Bridge roundabout

[please dont go over the
bridge]

At the sixth and final set which is a cross roads will be a Lloyds Bank on
the left corner and a large steel sculpture of a feather on the right corner. due to a new one way system introduced on monday 8 june 2015 you will now have to turn left onto Victoria
road and pass the shops then turn first right at the junction with Keswick road Proceed down the hill and follow the road round to the right into Woodley road where you will see a car park, at the
end of the car park on your right just before the juntion with Porsmouth road there is a small gravel lane,

we are located at the far end on the right.

If on foot or coming from woolston rail station from the junction of bridge
rd /victoria rd & portsmouth rd head down hill toward the sea and on the left, at the end of a row of shops will be a property which was formerly a Nat West Bank with the old Bingo hall /woolston

door of the bank, and you will see a gravel driveway. We are at the end on the right.
